I'm focusing my character on a pure Wizard now. I'm going with Archmage (with a few points into EK and Pale Master as well), and up to level 20 it was a blast because Arcane Blast is so good and also all those cheap metamagic.
However, in Epic levels I'm noticing maybe I don't need Arcane Blast anymore. My mana pool is larger, Meteor Swarm deals way more damage, Epic Strikes are cheap, etc..
So, I'm trying to dump Archmage and putting all points into EK instead. And even being a pure caster, OMG EK seems way too good to pass on. My effective HP is probably double now comparing to Archmage, medium armor, PRR, etc. Also, I thought EK would suffer in relation to spellpower.. but no, my spellpower is even higher as EK than it was as Archmage! (the only downside is having to melee hit to maintain the buffs)
So, my question: Is EK simply busted? Have your guys tryied to more or less compare the Wizard trees? Is EK really the way to go even as pure caster?
